Egg Salad Recipe

Egg Salad Sandwich

This Egg Salad is a simple dish made from readily available ingredients like eggs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, celery, green onion and seasonings. Its familiar taste and texture are reminiscent of most of our favorite comfort foods.

Egg Salad can be enjoyed in various ways. It can be used as a sandwich filling, spread on crackers or bread, served on lettuce leaves, or even as a topping for other dishes. This versatility makes it suitable for all kinds of meals and occasions.

This recipe is relatively easy to prepare, requiring minimal cooking skills and time. Just be sure your eggs have cooled completely before preparing the salad or make them ahead and refrigerate until you are ready to use them.

Greek Salad

Greek Salad

Greek Salad is the perfect blend of freshness, crunch, and vibrant Mediterranean flavor! Every bite bursts with color and the bright, zesty taste of the best homemade Greek dressing, a combination that will have you coming back for more.

Did you know that an authentic Greek Salad doesn’t include lettuce? My recipe stays true to tradition, featuring juicy tomatoes, crisp cucumber, red onion, briny olives, and creamy feta cheese. Bell peppers add a pop of sweetness and crunch, while a simple vinaigrette made with olive oil and red wine vinegar (or a splash of lemon juice) ties it all together beautifully.

Whenever I make or eat a Greek Salad, I can’t help but think of Tarpon Springs, Florida. We love visiting The Sponge Docks there, known affectionately as the “sponge capital of the world.” With its rich Greek heritage and 51 miles of stunning waterfront, this charming little town serves up some of the most authentic and delicious Greek food in the U.S.!

Gather all Ingredients

Tomatoes, bell pepper, cucumbers, and red onion – if you’re going to omit one of these, leave out the bell pepper. The rest are essential.
Kalamata olives – you can use another kind of olive.
Feta cheese – good feta cheese is a must for this salad. For a dairy free option, try a vegan substitute.
Lemon juice – red wine vinegar will work very well too.
Extra virgin olive oil, garlic, salt, oregano, and pepper.

Greek Salad Ingredients

How to make this Recipe:

  1. How to make

    Place the cucumber, peppers, tomatoes, feta, olives and red onion in a large bowl. For the vinaigrette, whisk together the garlic, oregano, lemon juice, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Still whisking, slowly add the olive oil. Pour the vinaigrette over the vegetables and toss lightly. Set aside for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to blend. Serve at room temperature.

Greek Salad – Frequently Asked Questions:

Is Greek salad healthy?

Absolutely. Greek salad is rich in vitamins, antioxidants, and healthy fats from olive oil and feta cheese. It’s a low-calorie dish that fits well in Mediterranean and heart-healthy diets.

Can I make Greek salad ahead of time?

Yes, but it’s best to assemble the vegetables first and add the feta and dressing just before serving to prevent sogginess.

How long does Greek salad last in the fridge?

Greek salad stays fresh for about 2 to 3 days when stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. For best texture, keep the dressing separate until ready to serve.

What are common variations of Greek salad?

Popular variations include adding capers, avocado, roasted red peppers, or lettuce (for Western-style versions). Some also top it with grilled shrimp or chicken for extra protein.
